What People Are Saying About Bacchus Wine Bar
The Editor

In Short – Peach-colored walls, local art and just eight mini stools at the L-shaped bar make for a cozy atmosphere, perfect for the after-work crowd or local diners waiting for a seat at nearby Sushi Groove. Patrons can also sit in the two leather loveseats by the front window while sipping on a glass of red or one of the popular "sakitinis," original sake cocktails. An ever-changing cheese plate is also available to complement the wine.

Top-notch intimate wine bar
by JABM
Bacchus is the one place I always make a point to visit when I?m in town. With an intimate atmosphere that?s casual-yet-upscale, interesting artwork that changes regularly, and a wonderful wine selection, it would be hard not to like this place. However, the staff is this place?s greatest asset. Bodhi, the owner, is welcoming and fun to converse with, in addition to being very knowledgeable about his wines and a great resource for suggestions on what to try. They always offer a fun variety of by-the-glass options as well as great flights if you can?t decide what you want. Their prices are very reasonable, considering the wines on offer, and you can even pick up some bottles to go if you?re so inclined. The ambiance, coupled with the warm, friendly service, make you feel like you?re enjoying great wine at a great friend?s place ? which you are.
- Pros: Service, selection, price
- Cons: Too small for groups of 6 or more

Best place to sip great wine without pretension
by iluvvinno
I Love this place. Great selection of wine. The staff is very knowledgeable and the flowers are amazing. A good friend who lives in Russian Hill first brought me here several years ago, i knew right away i would come back again and again. The room is small and intimate, the lighting is perfect, the tunes are mellow, and the conversation with interesting strangers is excellent.
- Pros: great wine. intimate setting. nice art
- Cons: parking
